Thank you for all of the insight, it really helps narrow down what we need to be looking for.
I believe you are correct that the problem is on the vehicle wiring. If your 2018 Jeep Wrangler is a JK then you have something similar to the Curt # C55124 which is a simple tee solution but if you have the JL Wrangler then you have something like the Curt # C56407 which has the whole module setup.
With the JK wiring I actually believe the issue might be on your OEM wiring but for the JL the... view full answer...
We've checked in the past and the Rampage bumper part # RA88509 can fit your 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler with the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX1126 that you have installed already. view full answer...
First off, I appreciate your priority being safety! And you are definitely not crazy, a lot of people do install these parts themselves, and we have a number of install videos for you as well which I'll link for you.
Assuming your 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler Sahara has the standard factory bumper, I'll make a list of the best parts needed in order to flat tow it.
- Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521448-5
- Tow Bar: Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain, Non-Binding... view full answer...
Yes, the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521448-5, which is confirmed to fit your 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler if you have the standard factory bumper (no winches or guards), will work perfectly with the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 that you referenced. This tow bar features a self-aligning design that will ease hookup and extra-long telescoping arms to allow for better maneuverability and smoother towing.
I have attached an installation video for the EZ5 Base Plate Kit on your JK... view full answer...
The only option to get the hex bolts, hex nuts, and washers is with the Replacement Triple-Lug Brackets for Blue Ox Tow Bars # BX88154. This comes with 2 hex nuts, 2 hex bolts, 4 washers, and the pins and brackets. view full answer...
The photo of the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # RM-677 is definitely an accurate representation of what you get - arguably the highest-quality tow bar in the industry with LED light strips, safety cables, cord with 7-way and 6-way plugs, along with arms that have connections designed specifically to mate with Blue Ox base plates.
If those are the base plates you have and you are looking for a tow bar, the Nighthawk # RM-677 is the most convenient... view full answer...
The bolt does not come with the Replacement Foot Plate for Lippert Power Gear Hydraulic Jack # LC359344.
I checked with Lippert, and while there isn't an OEM replacement bolt, they did say that the correct bolt was a Grade 8 3/4"-16 x 1-1/2 bolt.
I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well of the Lippert Power Gear Hydraulic Jack # LC359344. view full answer...
Yes, the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE part # HLY84FR can be used with an extender for which I recommend the Curt Hitch Extender part # C45791 but this will reduce the weight capacity of your trailer hitch by 50%. That said, the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE may work on your 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler without an extender depending on tire size and hitch combo.
The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE requires no more than 7-1/2" from the face of the trailer hitch out to the rear edge of the spare... view full answer...
The best option I have for you to replace your entry door latch is with the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit part # 295-000019 which does not use any sort of actuating rod but rather a latch bolt like what you might find in your home. In regards to installation, there will likely be some alterations required but this is more or less unavoidable for older RV's as they just don't offer direct replacements anymore. view full answer...
While the Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike Rack # C18013 only requires 1-1/2" or space on the shank for it to fit (so it will fit your Excali-Bar III # DM9511013) I am not sure about your bikes being able to fit in-between your motorhome and Jeep.
The first cradle of the Curt bike rack only sits a few inches in front of the vertical arms of the rack so I would try mocking up your flat towing setup to see if you will have proper turning clearance with 3 bikes (if that's how many you plan on carrying).

Since you have the 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited that is a 4 door you would need a different Backbone kit of # RRRJKB1 which comes with the Pioneer Platform part # RR68FM that fits your Wrangler. You are correct the part # RRRJKB2 does only fit the 2 door models. view full answer...
To flat tow your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK you'll need a few things. A base plate kit to connect the vehicle to the tow bar, a tow bar to provide connection between the tow vehicle and the Jeep, lighting to operate the lights of the towed vehicle so others know when you are turning etc., and supplemental braking to activate the brakes of your tow vehicle to help slow down.
So for a base plate kit you'll want the Roadmaster Direct Connect kit part # RM-521448-5 which is easy to use and provides... view full answer...
You are correct that there are some bike racks designed for flat towing and some that are not. For your 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler, I recommend Lets Go Aero V-Lectric Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount Item # LGA77FR. This bike rack is designed for flat towed vehicles, accommodates E-bikes and has a weigh capacity of up to 75lbs per bike. The lower mount for the bikes can be secured in different locations on the double tubes to allow you to fit the rack and bikes to the... view full answer...
We do have replacement magnets part # AA2090206 which you could use in your second door set so that the Aries ActionTrac Motorized Running Boards with Custom Installation Kit # AA73DQ would still power in and out with them on your 2018 Jeep Wrangler view full answer...
Every flat-towed vehicle requires the same components: base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, wiring, and a braking system. I've hand-picked the best products confirmed to fit your 2018 JK Jeep Wrangler with a standard factory bumper (no winches or guards). Check them out below.
1. Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521448-5 (Not a fit for Winter, Hard Rock, or 75th Anniversary models)

Unfortunately we don't have a network of installers nationally, but we do provide videos so that you can do the installation yourself or have a local mechanic you trust do the installation for you.
For your 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler, I recommend the following components:
Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521448-5 using Loctite # LT37420
Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520
RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000 lbs # RM-643

We had the chance to install the Hopkins tow bar wiring kit part # HM56200 on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK like yours (see attached install video) so we do know this kit fits your vehicle. If yours had it's converter box short out and fail then you'd need to replace the entire kit. At this time we don't have a way to replace just the box. view full answer...
We actually had the chance to install the Brake Buddy Classic 3 part # HM39494 on a JK Wrangler like your 2018 model and we made an install video that covers the entire process that I have linked on this page for you to check out. This will show you where all of the connections need to be made. view full answer...
The 255/75R17 tire on your 2018 Jeep Wrangler is 32 inches in diameter like you were told and a great fit for your spare tire would be the Rampage Spare Tire Cover # RA773215. The cover has a cord which will allow you to ensure a tight fit, is UV resistant and black in color.
I've added links to a pair of video reviews for you to take a look at on this product as well. view full answer...
Yes, the older Demco Commander tow bar 951010 (replaced by Commander II part # DM9511012) can be used with the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms part # RM-521448-5 with the Demco adapter part # DM9523032. If you have the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # RM-521448-4 you will need the adapter part # DM9523001.
If you do not already have the Roadmaster base plate on the Jeep, you can use a Demco base plate without an adapter with the Commander tow bar.... view full answer...
